G G5 B5 C5 A5
Why not pretend that your love is real
D (Bm) G
Why not fake it?
I'm going to ask you to act it, don't let me see if you're bored
If you use the right tactic, you will hear me applaud
I don't mind what you're thinking, I'll just guess what you feel
Don't regret you've been drinking to make your pleasure look real
[repeat chorus]
Fake it, fake it, I can take it
I don't believe in eternity
Fake it, fake it, help me make it
I've taken leave of all dignity
Why not fake it?
[bridge]
F
I am prepared to put up with this because I love you so much and
Eb
I know that you probably don't love me in the same way
Bb
But if you care for me at all then take me in your arms
F C
Fabricate the way you feel
G D
I'll just pretend that it's all for real
D E
Fake it anyway, yeah
